a crooked touch (Astarion x m!Tav) by eyes_of_the_lamb
Fandom: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
16 Nov 2024
Summary
“Make it hurt, then. Kiss me like you want to kill me.”
“I can do that.”
Two broken stars in a decaying orbit, passing closer and closer together until the inevitable, devastating collision.
Or, Tav is fucked up and down bad for Astarion, who doesn't quite see the appeal (but he's getting there). Sexual frustration, sloppy handjobs, a heavy dose of masochism, and way too many failed Insight checks ahead. Tav falls first, Astarion falls harder (eventually).
Or, a tragic-but-hopeful romance told through a series of incredibly ill-advised sexual encounters.
If you want to read a story where Astarion is sweet from the start and Tav is here to fix him, this isn't the one. If you want to read about two terribly broken men spending a good long while making each other worse before they make each other better, this might be for you. If you thought the in-game romance was a little too easy and it should have been ten times more painful and difficult to convince Astarion he's worthy of love, this is definitely for you.
Set during the canonical events of Baldur's Gate 3.

Summary
A young nobleman conspires to get kidnapped in a pirate town in the Caribbean in search of a dead Welsh king and encounters a childhood friend turned pirate captain, a quartermaster with one foot in the grave, an uncanny navigator, and, most importantly, a spitfire young shipwright who can speak to the wood of the ship itself, whose true love is destined to die before she ever kisses him. Luckily for him, the nobleman has died once already.
Or, how Richard Campbell Gansey the Third finds himself aboard the legendary pirate ship, the Greywaren.

Summary
Written for this kinkme_merlin prompt: I'd like a story based on the Selection-Trilogy by Kiera Cass - I haven't read the books, just write your own story but based on this summary:
For thirty-five girls/boys, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Arthur.
But for Merlin Emrys, being Selected is a nightmare. Leaving his home to enter a fierce competition for a crown he doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.
I'd just love to see Merlin being from a lower caste than most of the others and not liking Arthur at first and just being his usual self, before he starts to actually like the prince. I'm looking for a lot of snark and Arthur secretly liking Merlin's difficult personality.
There's a love triangle in the books, but I'm not really a fan of that, so I'd be very happy if it's left out of the story. Choose whatever reason you like to make Merlin actually enter the competition.

Summary
After witnessing Harry’s return with Cedric’s dead body at the end of the Triwizard Tournament, Draco begins to question his father’s ambitions and beliefs. His mother reveals her, and, therefore, his non-human heritage soon afterward, and they realize they must go into hiding or suffer as all non-humans will when Voldemort comes into power.
They go to the only person they think might be able to help and also be too noble to use their situation against them:
Harry Potter - whose mother may have had more in common with Narcissa Malfoy than anyone expects.

Summary
In general, Neil Josten managed to keep his two lives in balance. To most, he was a nineteen year old art student with a part-time job in a mostly-normal coffee shop. On the other, he worked for an inhuman creature, running errands in exchange for wishes. But when he’s paired with Andrew Minyard for a collaborative art project, Andrew starts to unearth secrets too dangerous to reveal. Neil knows a threat when he sees one, but when his two lives start to collide, Neil will learn that some things are worth fighting for.
⁂
Aka the art school au with a secret world of magic and monsters.
